Re: `git log relative_path_to_object` does not respect the --work-tree path

Ok. Yes, it 's kind of tricky. But the `-- <path>` does both things.

`-- <path>` looks for the relative path within the current directory
but defaults to the work-tree root if your current directory does not
belong to the repo.

About `git -C <dir>`, awesome feature, I love that, but it's not my
point. (and I'm actually maintaining the ruby-git gem, supporting git
>= 1.6 T_T)

I really appreciate your feedback.
